Watch a pug pant like a diesel engine

It's mesmerizing. Seriously

If you woke up today thinking, "I really hope someone posts a video of a pug panting like a diesel engine on the Internet," you're in luck.

Dosh, a 3-year-old French pug, was recently captured on video during a rapid panting session in Taiwan — and the resulting 30-second clip of the towel-wearing pup is oddly mesmerizing. Soothing, even. Close your eyes and turn up the volume.

Perhaps Dosh can star in "Pug-let," a planned production of "Hamlet" using a cast comprised entirely of pugs. The benefit project received more than $5,000 in pledges on Kickstarter.

"Looks like we're doing this!" Kevin Broccoli, the project's creator, wrote after reaching his crowdfund goal. "See you all in September 2015!"
